I too just started reading your blog a few weeks ago and I really enjoy it. Your posts are insightful, fun, and inspiring! Thanks for sharing so much of your life. I was tempted to feel guilty for leaving my first comment on a "prize" post but those prizes are so sweet that I'm going to let go of that guilt! :)

Janelle, I always LOVE reading your blog and you are truly inspiring! I'm glad the "stalker story" (posted April 1st) was just your idea of a funny prank, because I truly was devastated at the thought of no more 'Three Men and Their Ladies' postings!!! :)

So with that being said.....THANK YOU for sharing your heart with all of us and for allowing us to have a little look into your world.

Hi Neighbor - I'm a long-time follower, and a long-time commenter... ;) Love your blog, but love YOU even more. :) Here's hoping I win. {Note: if you pick me, you won't have to pay any shipping costs.} {I'm just saying...!}

I think your blog is amazing! (Not just saying that for the prize, but what perfect timing;) You not only have a gift for massage, but your stories, pictures and music just soothe the soul. I hope you continue to blog and allow us to enter a piece of your world. Thanks!

I want to sit in front of that fire, cozy up with the kiddos and have sweet conversation with YOU! 500 posts! I cannot believe it. How blessed I have been by each and every one. Thank you for sharing yourself dear friend. The earth is a better place because of you!

I just love to read your blog, Janelle. It is so inspiring! And it makes me feel as though I am your friend, even though we rarely meet. Thanks for sharing of your life and family. You are amazing! Donna Good

Tonight is the perfect night for a warm cup of tea in a dainty teacup cuddled under an enveloping cozy blanket...I can just imagine it! Hopefully I won't have to imagine it anymore! :) I do love reading your posts. Your faith is strong, your love is deep, and your imagination is inspiring. Love you!Megan

I so enjoy reading about your thoughts and feelings, how you spend your time, your photos and your beautiful family. You are so sweet, I only wish I lived closer to you so we could get together and be friends. I don't blog just because I am not up on the technology, but you are an inspiration that one of these days I may try it. God's blessings to you and your family. Linda from Hatboro, PA

Wow 500 posts.... I remember when you had a giveaway for 400 posts!!! Keep writing Dear Girl....

And your little ones often remind me of our littles when they were that age. So full of life and fun!!God bless you and yours...Anne Fisher

"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are…Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect Tomorrow. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in my pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return."
